Reflection as both an introspective practice and a type of writing improves learning at all levels. In coursework, reflection assignments help students make connections, understand the significance of their learning, transfer that learning to other contexts, and are a central element of effective ePortfolio creation. But most of us don’t naturally do reflection well, either as guiding instructors or as developing learners, and the genre of reflection writing is unfamiliar to even the strongest students.

This workshop is designed for any instructor wanting to integrate reflection effectively into their coursework, but particularly those teaching classes designated as General Education courses. This session will help participants define reflection for their discipline, understand what makes reflection activities effective and significant for students, and consider ways to provide constructive feedback on student reflection attempts. Through a review of current reflection research, example prompts, response, and feedback walk-throughs, and guided drafting time, this workshop will provide a foundation for all who use or plan to use reflection at any stage of an assignment, course, or degree program.
